Carrier XL 425-625

Carrier is a disc cultivator used for high speed primary tillage and seedbed preparation. The wide range of front tools, discs and packers enables Carrier to handle the versatile challenges of modern farming – from ultra-shallow cultivation to a deeper incorporation. The versatility it brings to the farm saves passes, decreases machine cost per hectare and provides the best start possible for the coming crop.

Versatility in disc cultivation

Carrier XL 425-625 is a trailed disc cultivator, available in working widths between 4.25 to 6.25m. It can be fitted with 510 or 610mm discs, with adjustable disc angles.

The sizes of the discs make Carrier XL 425-625 well suited for deeper cultivation, incorporating large amounts of crop residues or breaking up pasture. A wide range of front tools increases the versatility of the machine.

Discs allowing for increased working depth

Carrier XL can be fitted with either 510mm or 610mm TrueCut discs. In comparison, the 510mm disc increases the space around the disc which allows for a higher throughflow. The 610mm on the other hand, enables greater working depth, which is a benefit when incorporating large amounts of crop residues, such as harvested maize stubble

MultiSet offers versatility

The adjustable MultiSet disc hubs allow the disc angle to be set to one of three positions between 11 and 17 degrees. This enables the disc aggressiveness to be adjusted to fit different working depths.

Thereby a perfect slicing can be achieved during shallow cultivation, and a good penetration can be ensured at a greater working depth.

Easy adjustment

The maximum working depth is set on the machine, while operational depth settings are carried out hydraulically from the cab. To ensure optimal slicing and uniform cultivation, the front row of discs can be adjusted in the lateral direction with the help of rigging screws.

Support on packer or wheels

Carrier XL 425-625 design allows for the transport wheels to be set down in the field, which makes the disc cultivator very manoeuvrable.

On headlands, the machine can be turned on either the packer or the wheels. The wheels can be lowered in damp areas or when shallower cultivation is required. By raising up the frame it is easy to back into corners, allowing the whole field to be cultivated.

Adjustable wing pressure on wider model

To be able to match the working results to the conditions in the field, Carrier XL 625 is equipped with hydraulically adjustable wing pressure.

This ensures that the machine gives the same cultivation effect across the entire working width.

Straw harrow compensates for poor straw distribution

Large combines tend to have a poor straw distribution, leading to an uneven emergence of the next crop. Equipped with the straw harrow Carrier not only cuts, but also distributes straw in the same pass. Well distributed straw is crucial to provide the following crop with the same conditions over the entire field.

CrossCutter Knife adds versatility

By equipping Carrier XL 425-625 with the intensive knife roller CrossCutter Knife, crop residues can be cut in two directions.

Weeds and small-seeded crops, such as oilseed rape, profit from an improved germination. A benefit after grain or sunflowers is the intensified chopping of the straw, giving a faster decomposition. Additionally, cover crops can be crushed and incorporated cost efficiently.

CrossBoard Heavy for perfect levelling

With CrossBoard Heavy, clods are crushed and the soil is levelled. A double acting stabilising bar increases levelling capacity.

The CrossBoard is equipped with master and slave cylinders, which ensures a level work result by maintaining the position of each CrossBoard section.

Easy to transport

When transporting Carrier XL 425-625 between fields, the machine is wing-folded to fit within 3m transport width.

The transport wheels are equipped with hydraulic suspension, resulting in a safe and calm ride, whilst also preventing damage to the machines main frame.

Save passes with BioDrill

By equipping Carrier XL 425-625 with the mountable small seeder BioDrill 360, a small-seeded crop such as oilseed rape or cover crops can be established in the same pass as the cultivating operation.

Zone 1 - Front tools

Straw harrow

The Straw harrow distributes the straw and crop residues on the field. This is a very good complement to the discs. Well distributed straw is crucial to provide the following crop with the same conditions over the entire field.

CrossCutter Knife

CrossCutter Knife is the optimal toolbar for efficiently and economically incorporating cover crops or creating an false seedbed for oilseed rape. It can also be used for cutting up heavy stubble and straw for faster decomposition.

CrossBoard Heavy

CrossBoard Heavy consists of hardened tines with angled wearing plates, crushing clods and levelling the field. On ploughed heavy land, CrossBoard Heavy enables Carrier to prepare a well prepared seedbed which in turn reduces the number of passes required.

Zone 2 - Intensive cutting and mixing

Two rows of high quality V-55 hardened Swedish steel discs aggressively cuts and mixes harvest residues down to 16cm working depth. The conical shape of the discs ensures a long working life and good crumbling of the soil.

TrueCut 510mm discs

The TrueCut 510mm disc provides good space around the discs, which allows for a high throughflow. Because of the high quality V-55 Swedish steel and TrueCut design, the discs keep their aggressive shape during a long working life. Learn more about TrueCut

TrueCut 610mm discs

The TrueCut 610mm discs enables great working depth, which is a benefit when incorporating large amounts of crop residues, such as harvested maize stubble. The TrueCut design combined with the high quality V-55 Swedish steel, ensures that the shape of the disc is maintained during its whole working life. Learn more about TrueCut

Zone 3 - Reconsolidation

Carrier can be equipped with packers suitable for a wide range of field conditions. The rubber suspension on the packer absorbs shocks and extends the working life of the frame and the packer.

Single SteelRunner

Single SteelRunner have an aggressive profile crushing clods and ensuring even consolidation throughout the working depth. The single SteelRunner works best on medium to heavy soils and in cloddy conditions. Pending scrapers keep the packer clean in all conditions.

Double SoilRunner

Double SoilRunner is a u-profile packer. The packer let soil act against soil, leaving an open cultivated surface. Owing to its design, the double SoilRunner does not clog and the draught requirement is low. Due to its large carrying capacity it is best on light to medium soils.

Double SteelRunner

Double SteelRunner is a very aggressive steel packer which works well in all soil types, including wet conditions. The packers design creates a profile that allows the soil to dry faster, thereby allowing you to carry out the next field operation quicker. Double SteelRunner creates full depth reconsolidation and is capable of breaking heavy clods.
